Shadia Bseiso made history when she signed with WWE back in October 2017, becoming the first-ever female Arab wrestler. Bseiso already had an interesting background as a Jordanian TV presenter and Jiu-jitsu athlete.
The star was invited to tryouts in Dubai in 2017 alongside 40 other men and women, where she was later signed by WWE. Bseiso was expected to make her debut in January 2018, but this didn't happen, instead, the Jordanian star was used as a backstage interviewer as part of the second Mae Young Classic and as a manager but never officially wrestled for WWE on their NXT brand.
Bseiso was surprisingly released by WWE in April 2019 after just over a year with the company, but she wasn't alone the company also released her husband Nasser ‘Jimmy’ Alruwayeh was released from the company at the same time. Much like Bseiso, Alruwayeh made history when he signed a developmental contract with WWE as the first Kuwaiti man to be contracted to the company.
